It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
The first week in June, our mama cats each had their baby kittens only a few days apart. They are still kittens themselves, almost a year. One had 5 and the other had 6, for a total of 11! They are so colorful and cute. They are young new mothers and kept taking each others babies. After a couple days of that, I decided to put them all in a big box together and they were happiest. I took a sweet photo of the two mamas together with all 11 babies.We shut them in the garage to keep them from moving and hiding them. It got so hot in there one day I couldnt find the babies. The mothers moved them behind some boots on the cool ground. It has been fun watching the kittens each day. I grew up watching litters of kittens grow and now the kids get to experience and enjoy it. It has been several years since we have had a mother cat have kittens. They grow and change so fast.
